What is a safety light curtain?

A safety light curtain is an industrial safety device that detects hands or larger objects crossing a protective field to prevent access to hazardous machinery. The SICK deTec4 Core uses infrared light beams to monitor a 1050 mm tall zone and triggers an emergency stop if intrusion is detected.

What detection resolution does the SICK deTec4 Core 30 mm have?

The SICK deTec4 Core Safety Light Curtain, 30 mm, 1050 mm detects hands reliably with 30 mm resolution across its protective field. This 30 mm spacing offers precise hand detection suitable for areas requiring hand protection.

How far can this light curtain detect?

The SICK deTec4 Core can see up to 15 meters away, providing flexible coverage for various machine layouts and work cell sizes.

Can I use this light curtain in a washdown environment?

Yes, the SICK deTec4 Core is IP65 and IP67 rated to handle dust and moisture in washdown environments and other challenging industrial settings.

What mounting system does the SICK deTec4 Core use?

The light curtain includes FlexFix mounting brackets and an M12x5 PUR cable socket that simplify installation and allow easy repositioning without major rewiring.

Does this light curtain have a built-in emergency stop?

Yes, the SICK deTec4 Core includes an integrated emergency-stop relay that reduces safety circuit wiring complexity and ensures compliance with safety architecture requirements.

Light Curtain vs Manual Safety Gates:

The SICK deTec4 Core offers active infrared detection across a full 1050 mm protective field, stopping machinery instantly when hands or objects break the beam. This replaces fixed barriers and manual inspection in high-traffic production zones.

For pick-and-place cells with frequent operator reach-in, the 30 mm detection resolution stops equipment before fingers enter the hazard zone, where a rigid gate would block workflow.
On palletising lines with varying pallet heights and access points, the 1050 mm field height and up-to-15-meter range covers multiple entry angles with a single curtain rather than multiple fixed guards.
In washdown or wet environments, IP65 and IP67 ratings keep the curtain reliable where mechanical gates corrode or jam, eliminating downtime for cleaning or maintenance.
The built-in emergency-stop relay simplifies wiring to existing safety circuits, reducing installation complexity versus hardwired gate interlocks on older machinery.
On shared robotic cells where tool changes are frequent, FlexFix mounting brackets let you reposition the curtain without rewiring, preserving payload for end-effectors instead of heavy mechanical gates.
